Hello Sabhaites and Friends,
Re: Meeting in support of Sisters at Mary Immaculate Girl's H. School,
Jeevan Bima Nagar, next Karuna Hospital , Borivali West at 10.00 a.m on
Sunday, June 22.
We want a large turnout for this meeting. A brief details of what happened
is given below and our specific demands. We also need to plan our future
course of action.
RE; THE BOMBAY CATHOLIC SABHA CONDEMNS THE INTIMADATORY TACTICS OF MNS
ACTIVISTS ON THE SISTERS WHO ARE MANAGING THE MARY IMMACULATE GIRL'S HIGH
SCHOOL, BORIVALI.
SEEKS INTERVENTION OF THE DEPUTY CHIEF MINISTER / HOME MINISTER TO
PROVIDE POLICE PROTECTION TO THE SISTERS AND THE INSTITUTION AND ALL CONVENT
SCHOOLS IN MUMBAI.
The activists of the MNS barged into the school premises of Mary Immaculate
Girl's High School, Jeevan Bima Nagar, Borivali West on June19, 2008. The
mob was unruly and behaved in a threatening manner., hurling abuses and
derogatory remarks against the School Principal and Manager who happened to
be Nuns. We are surprised that they have not been taught elementary manners
how to behave with women. This pressure tactic was a ruse to seek
admissions.
The local DCP Mr. Ranade was very helpful
But the Sisters have been terified by such type of goonda tactics.
We understand that they have threatened the Institution that they would
return back on June 24th at 10.00 a.m. They have also threatened if their
demands are not met than they will shut down the school for an indefinite
period of time. This warning is not limited only to your school but to all
convent schools.
We demand the following:
1. The intervention of the Deputy Chief Minister and Home Minister to
provide police protection to the Sisters and the said Institution and to all
Convent Schools.
2. Restraining order on such elements
3. Our constitutional rights as a Minority Institution should be protected
at all times.
4. Apprehend the culprits and prosecute them accordingly.
The Bombay Catholic Sabha will monitor the situation and plan its future
course of action accordingly.
Best Regards,
Dolphy D'souza
